If you're after a cruise holiday that makes you feel as pampered as the stars, why not consider a celebrity cruise to Cannes? World famous for its international film festival, it's hard to believe the upmarket city was historically a small fishing village. Cannes is one of the most popular tourist hotspots along the French Riviera and draws big names from the movie world every year to celebrate the industry's achievements. If you opt for a last minute cruise to the Mediterranean location you might find a good deal on a star-spotting holiday, but don't forget to spend some time exploring what else the city has to offer. Take a stroll along the beautiful La Croisette waterfront, which is lined with palm trees, and take in the sights of Cannes from the top of the fortified tower at the Chapel of St Anne in the Old Town part of the city. Inside the chapel you'll find the Musee de la Castre, which houses indigenous art from Africa, Asia, America and Oceania and artefacts from across the Mediterranean. The 12th century tower meanwhile displays a collection of musical instruments from around the world. Next, why not explore the nearby Lerins Islands? The largest, Ile Sainte-Marguerite, is half a mile away from Cannes and is famous for its Fort Royal Prison. The historical incarceration unit is thought to be the place where the Man in the Iron Mask - as referred to by Voltaire in his work Siecle de Louis XIV - was held captive during the 17th century. Neighboring island St Honorat is inhabited only by Cistercian monks who spend their time in prayer and making local wine. Wander around the island to take in the church and the remains of the 11th century monastery. If you're lucky enough to take your cruise holiday in May, when the film festival usually takes place, why not get close to the red carpet and see your film heroes in the flesh? Join the likes of Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie for the ten-day celebrity bash and discover the star appeal of Cannes.
